EffectEdit

A Shocking weapon upgrade provides the following bonus to the weapon (the user respectively):

• Converts physical damage to lightning damage.

NotesEdit

Shocking weapons do more damage against enemies using skills like Physical Resistance. Adding this to a weapon, however, makes your attacks weaker if your enemies are using skills like Elemental Resistance or Mantra of Lightning.

Shocking weapons are often useful in conjunction with Elementalist skills like Conjure Lightning and Iron Mist.
